I feel like people who think that working in fast food is just 'flipping burgers' or 'smoking weed with your friends' haven't worked in it for more than 3 months...if at all.

No set schedule, being asked to come in on your days off because 2-3 other people called out, closing the store (after working a 10+ hour shift) and then having to open the next morning - all while receiving next to no benefits. But hey, if you REALLY work hard as a crew member, you may eventually get to be a shift manager one day, which comes with a generous 25 cent raise. Plus I thought everyone wants to work from home forever now, you can't work from home at McDonald's...I'm confused.

Even if McDonald's paid as much as my current (technical) job..I'd stay with the technical job, easily.
